I am releasing the source (C and asm) for my CPU ID routine. I originally
started writing it just to detect an MMX cpu, but I decided to make it
more useful for others to use. I have submitted the code to be included in
the next release of Allegro.

Features include:

Uses the cpuid instruction if supported

Detects 386 thru Pentium 2

Detects FPU

Detects MMX

Correctly detects Cyrix cpu's which do not support the cpuid instruction

Can be easily modified to detect more details as needed


The source code can be found on my web page at:
